[gentoo-dev] [GLEP56] USE flag descriptions in metadata

[Doug Goldstein]

All,

Here's a GLEP for the addition of USE flag descriptions to package 
metadata. It does not address any future ideas that others may have had 
or suggested. It merely gives developers the necessary "tools" to 
document their USE flag usage it better detail on a per package basis.

An clearly motivation explanation that I didn't add, which I'm going to 
add once I send this is the fact that as per the QA Project, 
use.local.desc can not contain a USE flag that already appears globally 
in use.desc. This would allow a description for that USE flag to be 
contained in the metadata.

I encourage any and all _technical_ feedback.

Thanks.
